Let's turn back the time to February of 2006 when Secretary Puno was recently named the new chief of the Department of the Interior and Local Government. The appointment of Secretary Puno back then happened after President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo revamped the members of her cabinet.
Ronnie Puno's appointment then received positive response from the people who are already in the department especially Provincial Director Antonio A. Cardoza of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in Biliran. Cardoza said that Ronnie Puno is a perfect choice for the position due to his experience in the field.
Cardoza mentioned that Puno has been there and done that during the terms of presidents Marcos, Ramos, and Estrada. Puno is a well-known strategist during the terms of said presidents. Puno also backed the current president in her campaign for the office giving him valuable experience on where the current administration is going with its plans regarding local government units.
Another quality trait by Secretary Puno which Cardoza admired is his concern for the workforce behind the department. He said that whenever the Secretary would go on trips to visit local government units, he is always ready to meet the people in the field because he understands how important they are. After all, they are the ones on the field and are tasked with carrying out the orders from Secretary Puno himself.
Connecting with the workers gives Secretary Puno the chance to learn what is wrong in the lower levels and what is working for them. This is very valuable as it would give the department the information it needs to solve problems on several levels of local government.
Today, Secretary Puno is as committed as ever to his job as the head of the DILG. His dedication to his job and affinity for the workforce of the department has resulted to positive campaigns to make LGUs better. The success of a microfinance project in Rizal is a proof of that.
His track record in the DILG and as a Representative of the first district of Antipolo City shows that no matter which path he takes in the political crossroad he is in now, things are bound to look good for the Filipinos.
